Metro Self Storage

Climate Controlled Storage

While a regular self storage unit is sufficient for several types of items such as outdoor garden tools, bicycles, and holiday decorations, it may not be the right choice for your temperature-sensitive belongings. Here are some examples of the types of materials that can be affected by extreme temperature swings:

Wood: Furniture can crack and warp from expanding and contracting as temperatures swing from extreme hot to extreme cold.

Paper and Fabrics: Books, scrapbooks, photo albums, and heirloom clothing can yellow, fade, and disintegrate in extreme heat or cold.

Metals: Things like knives, pots, pans, and metal artwork can rust and corrode if exposed to humidity.
